Jim, Dawn and Natalie Knutsen began ministering in Europe in 1996. They founded EuroBoost in 2005 as a way to accelerate church planting in European countries.

In collaboration with international missionaries and local European pastors, EuroBoost now gives its partners an opportunity to strategically invest in launching new church projects across Europe. Current projects can be seen in Spain, Germany, Croatia, France, the UK, as well as in politically sensitive countries. This coming year EuroBoost hopes to add a church planting project in Poland.

During their years in Europe, the Knutsens have ministered in France, Belgium, Holland, Spain, Scotland, Serbia, Croatia, Germany, Norway, and Poland in the areas of leadership education, worship leading and formation, marriage workshops, local outreach, and church planting.

Jim has a Ph.D. in Historical Theology from Durham University in England, a Masters of Divinity degree in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California, and a B.A. in Religion from Vanguard University in Costa Mesa, California. He is an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God and travels extensively in the U.S. and Europe to facilitate church planting projects across Europe.

Following graduation from a French high school, Natalie is currently in her senior year at a US university.
